Product License Agreement
The parties to this agreement are you, the end customer, and either (i) where you have purchased your Product within the Americas, Fortinet, Inc., or (ii) where you have purchased your Product outside of the Americas, Fortinet Singapore Private Limited (each referred to herein as "Fortinet"). CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING LEGAL AGREEMENT (THE OR THIS "AGREEMENT" OR "EULA"). USE OR INSTALLATION OF FORTINET PRODUCT(S) AND ANY UPDATES THERETO, INCLUDING HARDWARE APPLIANCE PRODUCTS, SOFTWARE AND FIRMWARE INCLUDED THEREIN BY FORTINET, AND STAND-ALONE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS SOLD BY FORTINET (TOGETHER, THE "PRODUCTS") CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE BY YOU OF THE TERMS IN THIS AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED OR UPDATED FROM TIME TO TIME IN FORTINET'S DISCRETION BY FORTINET PUBLISHING AN AMENDED OR UPDATED VERSION. FORTINET SHALL NOT BE BOUND BY ANY ADDITIONAL AND/OR CONFLICTING PROVISIONS IN ANY ORDER, RELEASE, ACCEPTANCE OR OTHER WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE OR OTHER WRITTEN OR VERBAL COMMUNICATION UNLESS EXPRESSLY AGREED TO IN A WRITING SIGNED BY THE GENERAL COUNSEL OF FORTINET. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT START THE INSTALLATION PROCESS OR USE THE PRODUCTS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY, AND IN NO EVENT LATER THAN FIVE (5) CALENDAR DAYS AFTER YOUR RECEIPT OF THE PRODUCT IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY THE FORTINET LEGAL TEAM IN WRITING AT LEGAL@FORTINET.COM OF REQUESTED CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT.
1. License Grant.
This is a license, not a sales agreement, between you and Fortinet. The term "Software", as used throughout this Agreement, includes all Fortinet and third party firmware and software provided to you with, or incorporated into, Fortinet appliances and any stand-alone software provided to you by Fortinet, with the exception of any open source software contained in Fortinet's Products which is discussed in detail in section 15 below, and the term "Software" includes any accompanying documentation, any updates and enhancements of the software or firmware provided to you by Fortinet, at its option. Fortinet grants to you a non-transferable (except as provided in section 5 ("Transfer") and section 15 ("Open Source Software") below), non-exclusive, revocable (in the event of your failure to comply with these terms or in the event Fortinet is not properly paid for the applicable Product) license to use the Software solely for your internal business purposes (provided, if a substantial portion of your business is to provide managed service provider services to your end-customers, you may use the Software embedded in FortiGate and supporting hardware appliances to provide those services, subject to the other restrictions in this Agreement), in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and subject to any further restrictions in Fortinet documentation, and solely on the Fortinet appliance, or, in the case of blades, CPUs or databases, on the single blade, CPU or database on which Fortinet installed the Software or, for stand-alone Software, solely on a single computer running a validly licensed copy of the operating system for which the Software was designed, or, in the case of blades, CPUs or databases, on a single blade, CPU or database. For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all licenses of Software to be installed on blades, CPUs or databases are licensed on a per single blade, solely for one blade and not for multiple blades that may be installed in a chassis, per single CPU or per single database basis, as applicable. The Software is "in use" on any Fortinet appliances when it is loaded into temporary memory (i.e. RAM). You agree that, except for the limited, specific license rights granted in this section 1, you receive no license rights to the Software.
2. Limitation on Use.
You may not attempt to, and, if you are a corporation, you are responsible to prevent your employees and contractors from attempting to, (a) modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, create derivative works based on, sublicense, or distribute the Software; (b) rent or lease any rights in the Software in any form to any third party or make the Software available or accessible to third parties in any other manner; (c) except as provided in section 5, transfer assign or sublicense right to any other person or entity, or (d) remove any proprietary notice, labels, or marks on the Software, Products, and containers.
3. Proprietary Rights.
All rights, title, interest, and all copyrights to the Software and any copy made thereof by you and to any Product remain with Fortinet. You acknowledge that no title to the intellectual property in the Software or other Products is transferred to you and you will not acquire any rights to the Software or other Products except for the specific license as expressly set forth in section 1 (“License Grant”) above. You agree to keep confidential all Fortinet
confidential information and only to use such information for the purposes for which Fortinet disclosed it.
4. Term and Termination.
Except for evaluation and beta licenses or other licenses where the term of the license is limited per the evaluation/beta or other agreement or in the ordering documents, the term of the license is for the duration of Fortinet's copyright in the Software. Fortinet may terminate this Agreement, and the licenses and other rights herein, immediately without notice if you breach or fail to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You agree that, upon such termination, you will cease using the Software and any Product and either destroy all copies of the Fortinet documentation or return all materials to Fortinet. The provisions of this Agreement, other than the license granted in section 1 ("License Grant"), shall survive termination.
5. Transfer.
If you are a Fortinet contracted and authorized reseller or distributor of Products, you may transfer (not rent or lease unless specifically agreed to in writing by Fortinet) the Software to one end user on a permanent basis, provided that: (i) you ensure that your customer and the end user receives a copy of this Agreement, is bound by its terms and conditions, and, by selling the Product or Software, you hereby agree to enforce the terms in this Agreement against such end user, (ii) you at all times comply with all applicable United States export control laws and regulations, and (iii) you agree to refund any fees paid to you by an end user who purchased Product(s) from you but does not agree to the terms contained in this Agreement and therefore wishes to return the Product(s) as provided for in this Agreement. Further, if you are a non-authorized reseller of Products, you are not authorized to sell Product(s) or Software, but, regardless, by selling Product(s) or Software, you hereby agree you are bound by the restrictions and obligations herein and are bound to: (i) ensure that your customer and the end user receive a copy of this Agreement and are bound in full by all restrictions and obligations herein (ii) enforce the restrictions and obligations in this Agreement against such customer and/or end user, (iii) comply with all applicable United States export control laws and regulations and all other applicable laws, and (iv) refund any fees paid to you by a customer and/or end user who purchased Product(s) from you but does not agree to the restrictions and obligations contained in this Agreement and therefore wishes to return the Product(s) as provided for in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, distributors, resellers and other Fortinet partners (a) are not agents of Fortinet and (b) are not authorized to bind Fortinet in any way.
6. Limited Warranty.
Fortinet provides this limited warranty for its product only to the single end-user person or entity that originally purchased the Product from Fortinet or its authorized reseller or distributor and paid for such Product. The warranty is only valid for Products which are properly registered on Fortinet's Support Website, https://support.fortinet.com, or such other website as provided by Fortinet, or for which the warranty otherwise
starts according to Fortinet's policies. The warranty periods discussed below will start according to Fortinet's policies posted at http://www.fortinet.com/aboutus/legal.html or such other website as provided by Fortinet. It is the Fortinet distributor's and reseller's responsibility to make clear to the end user the date the product was originally shipped from Fortinet, and it is the end user's responsibility to understand the original ship date from the party from which the end user purchased the product. All warranty claims must be submitted in writing to Fortinet before the expiration of the warranty term or such claims are waived in full. Fortinet provides no warranty for any beta, donation or evaluation Products, for any spare parts not purchased directly from Fortinet by the end-user, for any accessories, or for any stand-alone software. Fortinet warrants that the hardware portion of the Products, including spare parts unless noted otherwise ("Hardware") will be free from material defects in workmanship as compared to the functional specifications for the period set forth as follows and applicable to the Product type ("Hardware Warranty Period"): a three hundred sixty-five (365) day limited warranty for the Hardware excluding spare parts, power supplies, and accessories (provided, solely with respect to FortiAP and Meru AP indoor Wi-Fi access point Hardware appliance products and FortiSwitch Hardware appliance products other than the FortiSwitch-5000 series (for both excluding spare parts, power supplies, and accessories), the warranty herein shall last from the start of the warranty period as discussed above until five (5) years following the product announced end-of-life date), and, for spare parts, power supplies, and accessories, solely a ninety (90) days limited warranty. Fortinet's sole obligation shall be to repair or offer replacement Hardware for the defective Hardware at no charge to the original owner. This obligation is exclusive of transport fees, labor, de-installation, installation, reconfiguration, or return shipment and handling fees and costs, and Fortinet shall have no obligation related thereto. Such repair or replacement will be rendered by Fortinet at an authorized Fortinet service facility as determined by Fortinet. The replacement Hardware need not be new or of an identical make, model, or part; Fortinet may, in its discretion, replace the defective Hardware (or any part thereof) with any reconditioned Product that Fortinet reasonably determines is substantially equivalent (or superior) in all material respects to the defective Hardware. The Hardware Warranty Period for the repaired or replacement Hardware shall be for the greater of the remaining Hardware Warranty Period or ninety days from the delivery of the repaired or replacement Hardware. If Fortinet determines in its reasonable discretion that a material defect is incapable of correction or that it is not practical to repair or replace defective Hardware, the price paid by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware will be refunded by Fortinet upon return to Fortinet of the defective Hardware. All Hardware (or part thereof) that is replaced by Fortinet, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property of Fortinet upon replacement or refund. Fortinet warrants that the software as initially shipped with the Hardware Products will substantially conform to Fortinet's then current functional specifications for the Software, as set forth in the applicable documentation for a period of ninety (90) days ("Software Warranty Period"), if the Software is properly installed on approved Hardware and operated as contemplated in its documentation. Fortinet's sole obligation shall be to repair or offer replacement Software for the non-conforming Software with software that substantially conforms to Fortinet's functional specifications. This obligation is exclusive of transport fees, labor, de-installation, installation, reconfiguration, or return shipment and handling fees and costs, and Fortinet shall have no obligation related thereto. Except as otherwise agreed by
Fortinet in writing, the warranty replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the license granted by Fortinet for the Software. The Software Warranty Period shall extend for an additional ninety (90) days after any warranty replacement software is delivered. If Fortinet determines in its reasonable discretion that a material non-conformance is incapable of correction or that it is not practical to repair or replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by Fortinet; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is first returned to Fortinet. The license granted respecting any Software for which a refund is given automatically terminates immediately upon refund. For purpose of the above hardware and software warranties, the term “functional specifications” means solely those specifications authorized and published by Fortinet that expressly state in such specifications that they are the functional specifications referred to in this section 6 of this Agreement, and, in the event no such specifications are provided to you with the Software or Hardware, there shall be no warranty on such Software.
7. Disclaimer of Other Warranties and Restrictions.
EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY SPECIFIED IN SECTION 6 ABOVE, THE PRODUCT AND SOFTWARE ARE PROVIDED "AS-IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR WARRANTY FOR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY COVERED UNDER THE LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED HEREIN, THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY, SELECTION AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT IS WITH THE PURCHASER OF THE PRODUCT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, THE HARDWARE WARRANTY PERIOD DISCUSSED ABOVE DOES NOT APPLY TO CERTAIN FORTINET PRODUCTS, INCLUDING FORTITOKEN WHICH HAS A 365 DAY WARRANTY FROM THE DATE OF SHIPMENT FROM FORTINET'S FACILITIES, AND THE SOFTWARE WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO CERTAIN FORTINET PRODUCTS, INCLUDING FORTIGATE-ONE AND VDOM SOFTWARE. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT NO VENDOR CAN ASSURE COMPLETE SECURITY AND NOTHING HEREIN OR ELSEWHERE SHALL BE DEEMED TO IMPLY A SECURITY GUARANTEE OR ASSURANCE. The warranty in Section 6 above does not apply if the Software, Product or any other equipment upon which the Software is authorized to be used (a) has been altered, except by Fortinet or its authorized representative, (b) has not been installed, operated, repaired, updated to the latest version, or maintained in accordance with instructions supplied by Fortinet, (c) has been subjected to abnormal physical or electrical stress, misuse, negligence, or accident; (d) is licensed for beta, evaluation, donation, testing or demonstration purposes or for which Fortinet does not charge a purchase price or license fee. In the case of beta, testing, evaluation, donation or free Software or Product, the end user acknowledges and agrees that such Software or Product may contain bugs or
errors and could cause system failures, data loss and other issues, and the end user agrees that such Software or Product is provided “as-is” without any warranty whatsoever, and Fortinet disclaims any warranty or liability whatsoever. An end user’s use of evaluation or beta Software or Product is limited to thirty (30) days from original shipment unless otherwise agreed in writing by Fortinet.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the
Program does.
- You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
- You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if
the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
- You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Sub-section b above.)
Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
-
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
-
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
-
Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
-
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
- If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under
this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
-
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
-
If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
-
BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
- This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
-
You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
-
You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
- You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2 instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.
- You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
- A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.) Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
- As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for your own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of
definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.
- You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
-
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
-
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this
License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.
-
Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
-
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
-
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is
given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
-
If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

| Supports wired stations via the secondary Ethernet interface. | |
| Provides pre-pack PHY data rate up to 866 Mbps per radio at IEEE Std 802.11ac with MCS9/QAM-256 mode. | |

AP 822 V2 POE is supported only on port G1. Connect the POE connector to G1 port.
IEEE Std 802.11ac in AP822
The AP822 series is the first of Fortinet access point family capable of operating in the IEEE Std 802.11ac mode, which is capable for theoretical throughput rates up to 866 Mbps per radio.
IEEE Std 802.11ac is applied only on the 5 GHz band, and its higher throughput levels require the use of 80 MHz wide channels.
When a radio on AP822 is configured for IEEE Std 802.11ac operation, it is automatically set to operate on the 5 GHz band. By default, the radio 1 is set to operate on the 2.4 GHz band (Channel 6, 20 MHz channel width) to support IEEE Std 802.11b/g/n clients and radio 2 is configured for IEEE Std 802.11ac on 5 GHz (Primary Channel 36 with 80 MHz channel width).
With backward compatibility, AP822's Radio 2 supports either IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11a/n clients.
Installation Location
All AP822 interconnected equipment must be contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment's associated LAN connection. Ceiling mount is recommended but wall mount is also supported. In addition, the AP822 should be mounted in a location that meets the following conditions:
- Unobstructed access to stations - relatively unobstructed access to the stations the AP serves. Select a location with minimal physical obstructions between the AP and the wireless stations. In an office with cubicles, mounting the APs below a hanging ceiling or the wall near the ceiling provides the least obstructed communications path. On a wall, orient the AP822 horizontally so that you can read the Fortinet logo without tilting your head at 90 degrees - this orientation provides optimum MIMO performance.
- Access to power - access to wall outlet or to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection to the network switch servicing the controller.
- Capacity Planning - AP822 is capable of associating up to 128 clients per radio or 256 clients per system. For optimum performance, Fortinet Networks recommend planning up to 50 clients per radio for a mixed WLAN voice, video, and data. Users can, however, achieve higher client capacity in a data traffic only environment. Refer to the Fortinet Deployment Guides on the support site for more information.
• Install APs toward the center of the building. - Place APs about 80 feet apart.
- Do not install APs near metal objects, such as heating ducts, metal doors, or electric service panels.
- If you install an AP822 on a pole, its coverage will be a half spherical shape. Mounting two AP822's (back to back) on a poll does not provide full coverage (spherical shape). This could potentially interfere with each other resulting in poor coverage.

With grant of additional regulatory approvals and Permit-but-Ask by US Federal Communication Commission, users can configure two radios in AP822 on the same band (i.e., both radios are on the 2.4 GHz but in the different or same channels, or both radios are on the 5.x GHz but in the different or same channels). However, user shall expect performance deterioration due to RF collision. collocation, or co-channel interference (CCI). It is important that the users reduce AP822 transmit power, for each radio, by at-least 3 dBm for its default setting. It is also recommended to apply such use case in AP822eV2 with pigtail attached external antennas only.
Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT—Read and follow the regulatory instructions in Appendix B before installing and operating this product.
If an optional power supply is used, it must be one supplied by Fortinet Networks.

This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed power supply marked Class 2 or LPS and rated 12Vdc, 2A. For Power over Ethernet, an 802.3af or 802.3at connection must be used.

B Additional Notes
Maximum EIRP
The transmit EIRP is the sum of the conductive transmit power, IEEE Std 802.11n multiple stream effect, and the antenna gain. By default, Fortinet AP822 EIRP is set lower than the regulatory limit with the default antenna.
Dual Concurrent Same Band Operation
With grant of additional regulatory approval and Permit-but-Ask, users may configure two radios in AP822 on the same band (i.e., both radios are on the 2.4 GHz but in the different or same channels, and both radios are on the 5.x GHz but in the different or same channels).
However, user shall expect performance deterioration due to RF collision and collocation interference. It is important that users adopt external antennas, with extended coaxial pigtail cables, with AP822eV2 in such use case. User shall place antennas far apart to reduce interference. Meanwhile, user shall also reduce AP822eV2 transmit power, for each radio, by at-least 3 dBm from its default setting.
Manufacturing Information
The AP822 models are built in China. Contact Fortinet Networks for manufacturing related information.

Cautions
A Caution calls your attention to a possible hazard that can damage equipment.
When changing the orientation of the antennas, be sure to slightly loosen the knurled ring before moving the antenna. Retighten the ring afterward. Otherwise, you might damage the internal cabling in the AP.
The radiated output power of the access points is well below the radio frequency exposure limits. However, the Fortinet Access Point should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the radio frequency exposure limits, you should keep a distance of at least 20 cm between you (or any other person in the vicinity) and the Access Point antennas.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada's website http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.
A warning calls your attention to a possible hazard that can cause injury or death. The following are the warnings used in this manual.
With plastic covers removed, this product is suitable for use in environmental air-handling space in accordance with the Section 300-22(c) of the National Electric Code and Sections 2-128.12-010 (3) and 12-100 of the Canadian Electrical Code.
